Publication number: 20240167636Abstract: A propane tank of less than 4 pounds includes a tank body with a collar welded in an opening and a cylindrical valve receptacle threaded into a female screw thread in the collar with a valve body in a central passage. A protection cap has an upper wall and a peripheral wall which engages onto the outside of the collar and is spaced outwardly of the valve receptacle so as to define a crush area to receive impact loads. The upper wall includes a ring which extends into and engages a wider section of the passage and a projecting pin which extends into and engages into the passage adjacent the valve body to provide an additional seal. The peripheral wall defines a female thread on a plurality of displaceable sections so that the cap can be pushed axially on to a male screw thread on the collar and unscrewed.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 18, 2022Publication date: May 23, 2024Inventors: Marcel Joseph Andre Vouriot, Robert Amborsky, Patrick Badiou, Sean Oosterveen
